What would be interesting IMO is if Paul made Gambino as his underboss would Gotti of whacked Tommy Gambino too

Gotti was forced to kill Paul otherwise him , Gene and Ang would have been whacked so regardless of who was underboss Paul was going .

However as dumb as Gotti could of been ( I consider it more of his proud/ stubbornness to be a gangster persona than being dumb ) I doubt Gambino would have been touched . Gotti was smart enough to know killing a Gambino was probably a death wish whether it be by his own family or the Chin .

I also wonder if Paul made Gotti his underboss , would it have save his life ? Or rather save the life of living behind bars the rest of his life .

Regardless Paul did right by his sons I believe , putting them in critical a industry to NYC where they could receive help from CN while keeping them on the outside to prevent the constant watch by LE. My guess is his sons are millionaires today , but probably still kick up
